minus-squareGrabthar@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-25 months agoKf8, Nf5. I can’t think of a way black can stop it no matter what he takes on his turn and I’ve staring at this longer than I care to admit now. Ok, I think the exception is if black does Qxg3, then the second move for white would be Qxh5, checkmate.
